    The bitmap reminds me of your reaction to your fav scence in GIGLI.

    I had a Helnwein postcard book. I wish I’d bought two copies. The image on the bitmap was on a postcard I sent to a friend. Having only one copy, the right choice was clear- his reaction to getting it in the mail was worth more than having it at home. But I wish I still had one, as well.

    Helnwein is friends with a number of rock types, he and Marilyn Manson are especially close.
